Thought the same. And also, this whole piece might just be a nicely obfuscated ad for the service in question. Plus the "guardian sales angels" in the comment threads protecting their product: "why, I thought it read really

Yeah, it's creepy, isn't it? I think we will have to have full identification in online forums at some point. I don't know though what could be done against GPT content. Universities don't either by the way. Super crazy.

To you. That's your opinion. Maybe it's mine. But I will never go as far as to state something like my opinion as universially true. You do that. What makes you do that?

Elon bashing is 99% some companies campaign. There is an amount of money involved beyond our wildest imagination. World economy kind of money. You don't read Elon and Tesla content on reddit frontpage with 30k ups on average almost 24&

Exactly my thoughts. It feels like campaign, also in light of many of the responses in here. Has some kind of "look what I made; wow, are you selling?" vibes I'm used to from /r/gifs. The really distressing part is:

It's what I thought too. Would I be able to tell the difference? That thought really scares me. What if in not so distant future whole threads, comments included, are LLM generated? We are losing touch (ppl like you and me), and I fee

I agree! The problem is not with the fact that AI will make a lot of people unemployed, the problem is how we treat people who are unemployed. I love what I do, but I love the fact even more that I don't have to do it to live a good l

Can we take a moment and ponder over why the title is censored? Why are we all okay with this? Who are we protecting, who are we trying to deceive? Why is it fine with everyone, that a youtube SNL skit is bleeped out? What THE FUCK has gott

She mentions a diet rich in Protein. Even Supplements like Whey Protein Shakes. I wonder how that extra growth fuel contributes to cancer cell growth. At the very instance kf cell division, there is a small chance of the cell going '

Exactly this. It is by the way one of the main reasons I initially stuck with HN. The lean UI, text based simplicity, efficiently conveying information had me instantly. I would sacrifize styling for speed anytime, everywhere.

And an otherwise sane friend of mine thinks Alexa is dope. I guess it's always a matter of where you draw the line, I for my part, want to be in total control of who gets sent what concerning ALL my devices, and I think this should be

Isn't it time to just ditch "Stores" all together? We were way past that concept on the PC for decades, how on earth does it help to introduce it to desktop? Let ppl download there apks from the dev sources directly, and... o

As many in here mention, org-mode has a few very good features but is much too complicated to get into. My absolute favorite for self organization is Joplin: - self hosted - markdown - file attachments - cross device - lean interf

I would argue, that Markdown is not a language at all. Markdown is a nice little touch up to your everyday txt file, that you anyways edit and read in <your favorite text editor here> most of the time. I write in Markdown, because t

I can totally see how staying in a market this volatile - due to Brexit of course! - can pose a too big and complicated task to a startup. That's fine I think. Better to estimate your ability to provide a good service up front and make

How did your sabatical turn out? Did you get what you expected out of it? I am starting one right now and wonder if you had one or two words of advice? Your comment made me laugh btw, I am in such a similar position! Best to you.

I totally see how streaming - and letting everybody be able to see your stream - would help the cause, but the sheer amount of players make this method quite ineffective. Yes, if it's one individual making good money off it; No, if it&

What great insight! As a developer I wonder how you implement such methods and still be sure the code runs at desired speeds. Benchmarks? I'd really love to see the workflow of implementing new behaviours. I mean... incremental decry

Marketing... Look. Have everyone at job interviews create their own gpg key and send an encrypted and signed email to you. When they manage: welcome to Mozilla. You can't have some coked up marketing maniacs sitting making decisions

Yes! Was looking for that comment. Super slow read, half way through I recognized I was reading an ad.

Yup. I dearly hope they come up with a healthy way of administration. Smoking is really really really bad. Source: I am an ex addict. Both Cannabis and Cigarettes.

Complete crap. Please stay far away with your misleading headlines and your poorly disguised advertisements.

At least with javascript you have the power to just not run it. As with images: Just don't download them. If what message you received breaks, so be it.

Well, that should be a receivers end decision imo. The content is there, everyone is free to view it as they please. But in essence it's plain text, no html tag shenanigans (because that's a pain to read when unparsed) or, god for

This. Also: The unconverted markdown source is in itself already a nice way of formatting text/code/lists/headings/whatever. That's the whole point of markdown, no? So, yes, markdown rules, but because I can use i

Adding to that: they advertise the app for android. The app wants access to contacts, identity, all available networks (wifi scans) and a bunch of other stuff, where I ask myself why it is needed. I also want(ed) to like it, but you are exa
